Chapter 555: Are You Interested in Doctor Qiao
? While Cui Lang was complaining in his heart, he forced a bitter smile on his face, trying to make up for his appearance, and forced an explanation: "I usually pay great attention to my appearance, but today is a special situation..."
"I know." Qiao Yumian curled her lips and said, "I heard from Ningning that you did something extraordinary."
“…It’s not a big deal!” Cui Lang was modest for a moment, looking at Qiao Yumian, and suddenly said: “Didn’t you tell me before that in this world there is the light of the sun and the moon, as well as the brightness of fireflies. As long as they are willing, everyone can emit their own light——”
Cui Lang knew very well that it was from that moment on that a clear and positive spirit began to form in his heart.
"Later, my mother told me that if I couldn't be the pillar of the family like my elder brother, it would be good to be a fire stick!" Cui Lang said this, smiling and showing his white teeth, with a bit of youthful pride between his brows: "I think that a fire stick can at least produce some sparks - this time, my fire stick has been put to good use!"
Qiao Yumian blinked her eyes, looked at his appearance at this moment, and smiled: "It really looks like he just came back from burning a fire."
Hearing these joking words, Cui Lang didn't care about being embarrassed, and all he saw was that smiling face as serene as a lotus.
It was a shame for him, but when being stared at by those smiling eyes, his face suddenly turned red, and now he looked more like a fireman.
Fortunately, the palace lanterns were swaying in the wind, so Qiao Yumian couldn't see the color on Cui Lang's face. At this moment, her eyes fell on Cui Lang's right leg and asked, "Are you injured in your leg? Can I help you take a look?"
Cui Lang subconsciously took two steps to the side and stammered, "...How can I do this?"
He was injured in the thigh. If he asked her to diagnose him, wouldn't he be taking advantage of her? "I am Doctor Qiao in the Jiangdu Army now." Qiao Yumian said seriously, "You don't have to treat me as a girl from Qiao Jijiu's family."
"I don't mean to look down on you, I..." Cui Lang said in a panic: "I am just embarrassed..."
Anyway, he couldn't just regard her as a doctor...just think of her as a person with a good heart!
Cui Lang believed that he was not a blank slate, and his previous dandy behavior was real.
But when he faced Qiao Yumian, everything became different.
He didn't want to use any of his dandy tricks on her. Instead, he often felt ashamed of himself and felt that he was not worthy of a girl like her.
But he has never thought of giving up on himself... Isn't he working hard now to be a match for her as soon as possible!
Seeing that he was feeling uncomfortable, Qiao Yumian did not force him: "Then let another doctor help you. Just take the medicine and heal your wounds."
Cui Lang nodded obediently and agreed repeatedly, and finally said: "Then I will go back to wash up... Well, I mean, I will go back and let the doctor see my wounds!"
Qiao Yumian suppressed her laughter and nodded: "Go quickly."
"Okay!"
Cui Lang took two steps, then suddenly stopped and turned back to ask, "By the way! Mianmian, will you still be in the city tomorrow?"
Hearing this "Mianmian" that was obviously blurted out without thinking, Qiao Yumian's cheeks were slightly hot, and she said, "He should go to the army during the day and may come back in the evening."
"Then we can go out and admire the moon together tomorrow night!" Cui Lang said, and then added: "If you don't want to admire the moon, you can also admire the chrysanthemums... There are many winter chrysanthemums in bloom in Luoyang City!"
Qiao Yumian nodded and said "OK".
Cui Lang's eyes were filled with joy. He turned around and took two steps, but stopped again: "One more thing!"
Qiao Yumian: "What?"
Cui Lang said in a tone of sharing great news: "I will stay with the envoy from now on!"
Qiao Yumian was stunned for a moment, and her eyes lit up slightly.
Cui Lang gave her a big smile: "From now on, we can take care of each other!"
We can do many things together.
Under the moonlight, the young man's smile looked a little silly.
A smile flashed in Qiao Yumian's eyes, and she nodded to him with a little effort.
"Then I'll go back. We'll talk about the rest tomorrow!" Cui Lang knew that he was not handsome at the moment, so even if he had a lot to say, he could only postpone it for the sake of his image.
This long-awaited reunion was completely different from the first meeting Cui Lang had imagined. But despite his annoyance, the joy in his heart far exceeded his imagination.
"Sixth Young Master Cui..." The soldier leading the way, seeing Cui Lang's grin reaching his ears, tried to ask, "Are you old acquaintances of Doctor Qiao?"
This soldier and Cui Lang just met today, but Cui Lang's familiar temperament can easily infect people around him.
For example, at this moment, when he heard the soldier's question, he did not react at all as if he was being probed or offended. Instead, he said with a bit of complacency: "Is there any need to ask? Isn't it obvious?"
The soldier was also a capable man. He plucked up the courage to ask in a low voice: "Then...are you also interested in Doctor Qiao?"
Cui Lang paused and looked at the soldier warily: "...Where did the word 'also' come from?"
"It seems you don't know." The soldier said excitedly: "Doctor Qiao is a skilled doctor, has a heart to save the dying and the wounded, and is also so handsome... There are at least a hundred people in the army who want to marry Doctor Qiao because he saved their lives!"
Cui Lang stared: "???"
Well, he knew... Although Mianmian was a kind-hearted doctor, there were many people who had hearts as dirty as his among those treated by Mianmian!
"Besides..." the soldier continued in a low voice, "Doctor Qiao's status is so special that all of us envoys have to call her sister... There are many people who want to climb up the social ladder!"
Cui Lang's face twisted for a moment, and he asked the soldier warily: "Are you also..."
The soldier waved his hands hurriedly: "I dare not! Doctor Qiao, she is a goddess!"
He was just someone who listened to gossip and watched the fun! The next moment, just as he put down his waving hand, Cui Lang stuffed a jade pendant in his hand, which Cui Lang had just pulled off from his waist.
The soldier was puzzled but also felt flattered: "Cui Liulang, this..."
Cui Lang put a hand on his shoulder, held him in his arms and walked forward, saying with a smile: "You have been busy around me today, so this is a small token of my appreciation."
The soldier was uneasy: "But this is too expensive..."
Cui Lang shook his head: "It's okay."
Anyway, it was bought with King Fan Yang's money.
Seeing that he could not refuse, the soldier felt guilty and said, "Why not... I will carry you back!"
Although he is gossipy, he is also a down-to-earth person!
“No need, no need…” Cui Lang whispered, “Well, in the future, you can help me keep an eye out for those who show kindness to Doctor Qiao…”
The soldier looked surprised.
Oh, so that's what you're talking about! That's easy!
Not to mention giving him any benefits, even if you don't give him anything but just say a word, he would be quite happy... He has always been good at gossip!
Along the way, the soldier, who had a strong desire to talk, almost never stopped talking, and Cui Lang never loosened his teeth, and it seemed that the little notebook in his mind could no longer write down everything.
Although there were suddenly hundreds of rivals in love, it did not dilute Cui Lang's joy.
When he returned to the temporary residence that Tang Xing had arranged for the Cui family in the palace, the doctor was already waiting there.
When the doctor was cleaning Cui Lang's wound, Cui Lang kept crying out in pain.
Several members of the Cui family looked at each other in bewilderment.
There was nothing wrong with crying out in pain, after all, Cui Lang had always been a spoiled child and was not good at enduring pain. In the past, when he was punished at home, he would often cry out loudly. What puzzled them at this time was that Cui Lang was crying out in pain but smiling at the same time. Even when he was grinning in pain, he did not forget to "hehe" twice, which looked very strange.
The doctor was also frightened by Cui Lang's laughter, as if his men were not cleaning the man's wounds but scratching his itchy flesh.
The doctor carefully questioned Cui Lang and confirmed that he had no head injury, but after careful consideration, he still chose to add two more tranquilizers to the prescription.
After the doctor left, one of the Cui family members asked, "Sixth brother, you are so happy, but what did Chang Jie promise her?"
Cui Lang, who had changed into clean clothes, leaned back on the couch and said leisurely, "Master has agreed to let me stay."
There was a lot of noise among the Cui family, and a middle-aged member of the family sighed, "Liu Lang's call to Master, which sounded like a joke, is now coming true."
“That’s because I’m lucky.” Cui Lang gave himself a thumbs up. “Just by worshipping casually, I was able to find such an amazing and powerful master.”
Another middle-aged man sitting in a chair lowered his head and sighed when he heard this, his voice a little low: "My Cui family has been prosperous for hundreds of years, but now we have to regard the matter of our direct descendant becoming a disciple of a local governor as luck..."
There was a time when this was considered a disgrace to the family.
But now it is completely different...
The rise and fall of imperial power in the world was nothing surprising to the Cui family, but this time, along with the imperial power in the hands of the Ming family, the huge order of the distinction between the gentry and the common people, which had never been shaken for thousands of years, also faltered and fell, and even collapsed.
The inheritance of many aristocratic families was cut off in the war, and many aristocratic children gave up their pride and became vassals of those ambitious people.
This topic was too heavy. The room was silent for a moment before a young man asked Cui Lang, "Sixth Brother wants to stay, so where should we go?"
He wanted to follow the Sixth Brother, but... Envoy Chang Jie should have no shortage of people who are good at eating, and she herself probably doesn't have the habit of raising trash, right? Yes, the young man even thought that this could be called a "habit", after all, it was too niche.
"Don't be in a hurry." Cui Lang took the teacup handed to him by a young man and said nonchalantly, "Just walk and watch."
People discussed in groups of three or four for a while, saying all kinds of things.
Cui Chen remained silent. In his opinion, there was no need for discussion. Envoy Chang Jie was very purposeful in his actions and had countless talented people under him. It was impossible for him to keep useless people.
But he is different...
Everyone loves talented people, so Chang Suining is likely to force him to stay. Will he refuse or obey?
If he refused, he really didn't feel comfortable leaving Liu Lang here alone.
And if he obeys, it is obvious that the tribe needs him at this critical moment.
Cui Chen was still caught in a dilemma.
At this time, a tribesman lowered his voice and asked, "Liu Lang... Was King Fanyang really executed on the spot?"
Cui Lang raised his eyebrows: "Is this true?"
His master said he was executed, so he must be dead.
"But if King Fanyang hadn't revealed our whereabouts..." The tribesman was puzzled: "How did Envoy Chang Jie's men find us so quickly?"
"Master is so unusual, so her subordinates are naturally unusual too. She has her own tricks for finding people."
Cui Lang drank tea and talked casually. He inadvertently looked out the half-open window and saw a crescent moon.
The crescent moon hangs quietly in the sky, casting a clear reflection on the river.
The oars of the boat rowed forward, breaking the calm surface of the river and shattering the shadow of the moon in the water. The broken shadow of the moon drifted with the waves, emitting a dazzling light.
A small boat travels alone under the moon, floating slowly like a reed leaf.
Inside the cabin carrying two people, a soft hissing sound could be heard from time to time: "This knife cuts into my body, it really hurts..."
"I'm not afraid of the pain..." A young man took over and asked uncertainly: "Father, do you think Chang Suining will not kill us?"
"Nonsense, if she wanted to kill us, would she need someone to send us away?" King Fanyang held up his left arm, which was wrapped in a bandage, and said, "You think she is killing a pig, so that the meat won't be too greasy. We have to let the pig run around first..."
"That's true..." Li Yun, who had injured his right leg, whispered, "My son just didn't expect that she would be so easy to talk to... Letting a treasonous criminal go without permission is a capital crime."
King Fanyang leaned against the bulkhead and said, "Who can sentence her to death? Do you think she is afraid of this?"
As he spoke, he took a breath of cold air in pain, and then continued: "She is not easy to talk to..."
Li Yun: “What’s that called?”
King Fanyang's face wrinkled in pain, and he couldn't help but recall what happened today.
After being ordered by Chang Suining to be executed, King Fan Yang thought he was dead when he saw the raised knife. He had really met the King of Hell this time.
That wailing was real, after all, the knife really fell on his body, blood was splattered everywhere, but the location of the cut was a bit tricky...
He was looking at his arm that was cut and bleeding profusely, and before he could react, he was knocked unconscious by someone.
When he woke up again, the General Tang Xingtang was still in front of him.
His mind was in a mess when he heard the general Tang say, "Your Highness is confused. Your Highness threatened the envoy in public. If the envoy hesitates, everyone can follow suit in the future."
King Fanyang suddenly came to his senses, raised his intact hand, and slapped himself with regret: [It was my fault... I am a useless person. I can't stand hunger. Once I get hungry, my brain gets dizzy! ]
As he said that, he raised his hand and slapped his son hard: [You bastard, you didn't even bother to stop your father! ]
Li Yun was beaten so hard that he saw stars and there were still five finger marks on his face.
After revealing the whereabouts of Cui Lang and the others, King Fanyang was about to cautiously test Tang Xing, but Tang Xing directly ordered someone to send them away, and said to him: [The envoy asked Tang to convey to the prince - there are three reasons why the prince was allowed to leave.]
At that time, King Fan Yang hurriedly pretended to listen attentively.
Good night everyone~
